Healthy You Network is an Arizona nonprofit that educates people about the many health benefits of a whole, plant-based food lifestyle. Their philosophy posits, “An ideal whole food, plant-based regimen emphasizes vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes and beans. Nuts, seeds and avocados are used sparingly. There is an emphasis on unprocessed or minimally processed foods, and all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and fish are excluded. A person following a healthy whole food, plant-based regimen also strives to exclude all added oil and to use minimal amounts of added salt and sugar.”

Registration for the symposium begins Feb. 1. For more information, visit HealthyYouNetwork.org.
